Old Hippie Posted April 15, 2002 Report Share Posted April 15, 2002 So this pertains to traveler's checks as well, or just hard currency? What about access to money at home through ATMS and wire transfers? Not that I am planning anything, I'm not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gene1944 Posted April 17, 2002 Report Share Posted April 17, 2002 The US requires any traveler coming to the US to declare amounts in excess of $10,000 else the excess is subject to seizure by the feds. The feds are not so agreeable to returning excess money and so you will probably never see it again unless you hire an attorney and are willing to wait for your case to walk thru the courts. Then, you can possibly get it back, less a few to many thousand $$$$ for court/attorney costs and you will only see it many months/years.later. Many Universities that sponsor management seminars for overseas executives make note of this fact in their literature for application cuz some of their students have been caught and end up losing big bucks. It does not matter what the reason, it will be seized if you are caught with more than $10,000 undeclared. If you declare it, nothing will happen except you might be asked where it came from and where it is going to next. A word to the wise.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
